Happy Sunday to you!
It was another hot day across SWFL. Temperatures climbing into the mid 90s and feeling like the triple digits.
Overnight, temperatures will fall through the 80s and get into the upper 70s by sunrise.
Otherwise, we’ll start with an overall quiet morning. Under mostly sunny skies look for temperatures to climb quickly from our morning lows into the middle 90s. However, we will be tracking a few isolated showers working onshore through the morning hours before they push inland.
Factoring in the high humidity, heat index values will range from 105° – 110° in the afternoon. Stay hydrated and take breaks from the heat when you can if you have to be outdoors.
Shower and storms will begin to be more scattered around lunchtime, becoming widespread as we head into the later afternoon/early evening. The best rain chances will be east of I-75, though a few storms will try to work toward the coast late as well. While severe storms aren’t expected a few could be strong, packing heavy rain, frequent lightning, and in a few cases gusty winds.
Tracking the tropics:
Subtropical Depression Don will stay in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean over the next five days and not be a bother to the United States. Check the Interactive Hurricane Tracker section of the website or the “ABC7 WX” app, available in the App Store and Google Play.
